Oh my. One of these was my first gigging combo, from around 16, to 20. 
 

This is like a look down memory lane

Oh wow! So cool - really takes me back to the good old days 😎

[Reggaebass]

Loving this, so cool 👍

Remember in my early teens doing a gig at a youth club (big room, low ceiling) and the other band that played used one of these. Sounded powerful and great. It destroyed my Carlsbro 60w valve head and 15" SAI cab. Only problem was that it was louder than everything. Drums, guitar, vocals and audience all drowned totally out. I didn't understand about watts and all that then but I knew that it was really loud! I'd love to own this even if it was just for the nostalgia but it's too impractical unfortunately. GLWTS.

[Gaucho 5]

Thanks folks, all very much appreciated! Itsmedunc, you've hit the nail on the head buddy, I've hung on to it all these years purely due to the nostalgia! Yes it is loud, much louder than the watts quoted!

Wow, had a 2x15”BL, with a 18 year old back.

Kev Hopper, (Spoombung) used one of these combos.

Check out Stump, if you’re not familiar.

Wish I lived closer.

This was my dream amp when I was a teenager!

Shame you're so far away from me.

I had the head version of this which I used with a H|H 2x18. It was absolutely monstrous.

Funny you mention Holiday Music (which was in Leytonstone as far as I can remember). I bought my Bass Baby and 2x18 from Allan Gordon's in Walthamstow. That would have been around 1988.

I vaguely remember that, can you remember where it was in Leytonstone 

[Gaucho 5]

Yes, back in the day I bought all manner of gear from Allan Gordons (Markhouse Road Walthamstow) and Holiday Music in Leytonstone.

Rehearsals with various covers bands at Allan Gordons under the railway arches in Leytonstone....good old days!

It was on the High Road if memory serves me correctly

*EDIT* .... it was 396-398 High Road, Leytonstone.

 

I remember back in the 80s a mate of mine part exchanged an old Slingerland drum kit which was knackered and beaten for pennies for a brand new Pearl Export kit. Two weeks later I went back and they'd refurbished the Slingerland and was selling it for around a grand. I told him and he didn't believe me until he saw it for himself. I did detect a tear or two in his eyes when he saw it.

Absolutely perfect piece of vintage kit for a young kid setting off in their life long expensive low end journey!

What a steal at 70 bombs too!

I won't say glwts as you won't need it.
